What are the dangers of cervical hypertrophy?

With the rapid development of society, people are under more and more pressure, and the chances and types of diseases have also increased, especially for female friends. They not only have to take care of the family but also have to balance work. Therefore, the chances of women getting sick have also increased exponentially. In particular, gynecological diseases such as cervical hypertrophy often plague female friends and often make them very annoyed. Today I will introduce to you the dangers of cervical hypertrophy, so that all female friends will pay more attention in their future lives.

Cervical hypertrophy is a type of chronic cervicitis. Inflammatory changes caused by pathogens infecting the cervical mucosa. Specific hazards include:

1. Increased vaginal discharge: The typical symptom of patients with cervical hypertrophy is increased vaginal discharge. In acute cervicitis, the leucorrhea is purulent, accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral area, or bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. The leucorrhea of ​​chronic cervicitis is milky white mucus or light yellow pus.

2. Cervical congestion and edema: Acute inflammation may cause cervical congestion, edema or erosion, with purulent secretions discharged from the cervical canal, and pain may occur when the cervix is ​​touched. Chronic cervicitis may show varying degrees of erosion, hypertrophy, polyps, glandular cysts, and ectropion of the cervix, or purulent secretions at the cervical opening and a hard cervix upon palpation. If it is cervical erosion or polyp, there may be contact bleeding.

3. Bleeding during sexual intercourse: In case of severe cervical erosion or cervical polyps, bleeding after sexual intercourse may occur in the form of bloody leucorrhea. In mild cases, there may be no systemic symptoms. When the inflammation spreads along the uterosacral ligament to the pelvic cavity, there may be pain in the lumbar region, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and dysmenorrhea, which worsens during bowel movements and sexual intercourse.

4. Infertility: Thick and purulent leucorrhea is not conducive to the passage of sperm and can also cause infertility.

5. Affect normal life. For severe patients, cervical hypertrophy will cause symptoms such as bloody leucorrhea and bleeding during sexual intercourse. These symptoms not only affect women's mental health, but also endanger women's normal life to a certain extent. Therefore, it is recommended that women must go to the hospital for treatment in time when they suffer from cervical hypertrophy.

6. Induce cervical cancer. Because some women are accustomed to delaying treatment after they become ill, if cervical hypertrophy is not treated for a long time, the condition will worsen and induce cervical cancer.

Simple cervical hypertrophy will not affect pregnancy, but severe cervicitis can cause endometritis, salpingo-oophoritis, fallopian tube adhesions and blockage, leading to infertility. Therefore, female friends must maintain physical and mental happiness and personal hygiene in daily life. When the above situations occur, they must go to the hospital for examination and confirmation in time, receive treatment as soon as possible, and meet future challenges with a healthy body.
